The British girl band Atomic Kitten has signed a deal to promote Avon cosmetics.

The trio will receive an undisclosed sum to endorse products from the "Color Trend" range, said a spokeswoman on Wednesday for New York-based Avon Products Inc., the world's leading direct seller of beauty products. News reports said the sum ran to six figures.

The band members will appear on packaging and feature in Avon catalogues, the spokeswoman said.

The $5.7 billion company, which has built its business on direct sales, recently moved into retail with BeComing, a new, pricier cosmetics range.
